Respiratory Therapy Programs
Awarding an Associate Degree

with a Baccalaureate Option

Preface

The Roster was prepared by the Coalition for Baccalaureate and Graduate Respiratory Therapy Education (CoBGRTE) to assist students in selecting a respiratory therapy program. The roster also serves as a communication tool for existing and developing baccalaureate and graduate respiratory therapy programs. The reader is encouraged to visit program web sites and to contact each program directly for more information. New or existing programs not included on the roster should contact the Chair of the CoBGRTE Steering Committee with program information. Suggestions to improve the roster are welcome. An AARC approved white paper from the CoBGRTE Steering Committee, “Development of Baccalaureate and Graduate Degrees in Respiratory Care,” can be found using the link: http://www.aarc.org/resources/bacc_edu/index.asp
